Disney Shuts Down LucasArts

Just a few months after acquiring them Disney has announced that LucasArts will be shutting down, ending internal game development.

Disney have said that :

"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimising the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games"

This means that Star Wars 1313 and First Assault are effectively cancelled unless another developer picks up the IP and makes the game.
